After 20+ years of 67-72's I am finally getting "older". - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72freak · 04-06-2011, 10:12 PM

As mentioned in a few of my latest build threads, I have recently sold, traded, thrown away, scrapped and given away most of my inventory and sold off all but (3) of my trucks.. After 20+ years of playing with them I have decided to move my hobby in a little older direction. I have done a few older vehicles and only one other pre-war car but I have had it in my mind for some time to move on to the pre-war era. We here at Rottenwood Garage are still currently involved in (4) 67-72 budget builds for friends and fellow site members, including my gold 69, but all are winding down. I will soon be turning my attention to my latest acquisition pictured below.

1931 Ford (steel)
351 W
C4 trans
Ford 9"
Mustang II front

To come:

Satin black paint
Old school pin striping
Smoothies and wide whites
Fresh red and black interior
Lowered front suspension

Dont worry folks...the skulls have already been removed...they lasted 2 days on the car at my house.

Are you going to get rid of the IFS? Wishbones look soooo much better...

I agree the old style front suspension looks way better....At this time though Im going to keep what is there and just lower it and go with tubular control arms.

Very cool ride just needs a few things ..

Pop's C-10 · 04-10-2011, 02:38 AM

tubular control arms & coil over shocks would look killer.
